Hey, thanks for the request. I can see the screenshot with the dropdown.

In Cursor 3, this changed. The old Local/Cloud/Worktree dropdown is gone. Here’s how it works now:

Worktrees are now done via slash commands in the editor agent chat:

- `/worktree <task>` starts an agent in an isolated Git checkout
- `/apply-worktree` brings the changes back to your main branch
- `/best-of-n <models> <task>` runs the same task on multiple models in parallel

Cloud agents are launched from the Agents Window or via [https://cursor.com/agents](https://cursor.com/agents), not from the editor sidebar.

More details:

- Announcement: [Cursor 3: Worktrees & Best-of-N](https://forum.cursor.com/t/cursor-3-worktrees-best-of-n/156507)
- Docs: [Worktrees | Cursor Docs](https://cursor.com/docs/configuration/worktrees)

Let me know if you’ve got questions about the new workflow.
